BQ-500 SOFT COVER GLUING MACHINE (2024)
The BQ-500 Soft Cover Gluing Machine from 2024 is a state-of-the-art perfect binding machine, designed for professional book production with a focus on efficiency, automation, and quality. It delivers a fully automated solution for softcover book production—ideal for "Book of One" and short-run jobs, as well as larger runs demanding maximum flexibility and consistently high results.
Component Configuration
- 1 x SI-500A Thickness Caliper: Automatic measurement and transfer of book block thickness for optimized glue application and precise control, increasing productivity through minimal setup and highest repeatability.
- 1 x MU-500 EVA Glue Tank: Advanced EVA gluing system with easy tank removal for quick changes and minimal cleaning. The melted EVA can be reused multiple times, reducing operating costs and maintenance effort.
